Milan Should Offer Ronaldinho A Renewal, He Will Stay - Adriano Galliani
The Rossoneri CEO is adamant 'Dinho will not be going anywhere...
By Adam Scime
Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has bluntly told the press that Ronaldinho will be remaining at the San Siro and that he believes the player could stay even longer than his current contract, which expires in 2011.
"He is a Milan player, we will not give him up, the hypothesis should not even be considered," he revealed in an interview with gazzetta.it.
"He has never asked to be transferred. He will remain at Milan next season and I hope even longer."
The former Barca man has been linked most prominently with MLS outfit LA Galaxy, but also Flamengo and West Ham United.
Meanwhile, he also commented on the rest of the transfer market, suggesting no major moves will be made.
"The market is closed, assuming no one departs, this is the team," he stated.
"If someone does leave, then someone will come. If a small part then a little reinforcement, if medium an average one, and if a champion leaves than a champion will arrive. But I think this will be our squad."
Rossoneri fans have become restless at the lack of transfer activity over the last couple of seasons. This summer the team has once again been low key in the market, signing goalkeeper Marco Amelia and defenders Mario Yepes and Sokratis Papastathopoulos.
